I was a Genesis kid, but I played most of the SNES classics while it was still the 90s.
Donkey Kong Country has always been criminally overrated. Even on a CRT television it was just not that good.
In fact I'll go so far as to say that between the SNES and the N64, Rare made exactly two great games: Goldeneye and Diddy Kong Racing. Everything else was middling.
Uh... Perfect Dark and GoldenEye.
I mentioned Goldeneye.
Yeeeeeaaaaaauuuhhhhhh but then you paired it with Diddy Kong Racing. Replace that with Perfect Dark and then you're valid.
Diddy Kong Racing is a masterpiece. I don't think you played it all the way through.
I didn't play it, watched a friend at his house play. Just wasn't my thing. Felt too close to SNES Mario Kart, which was way better.
I'd take Diddy Kong over any version of Mario Kart, any day. It's less random, with more streamlined items and tighter mechanics.
long sigh look. SNES Mario Kart kicks Diddy Kong on its worst day. Especially in the multiplayer battle arenas. It's just me spitting hard fax.
